"Have some water, Elliot!" Zoe said as she propped him up on the pillow and placed the bottle of water against his lips. "You must be feeling lousy. Here, drink and you will feel better."Back in the hall, Avery felt a lot soberer. However, she now felt a lot worse than she had when she was drunk. She knew she could no longer allow herself to be entangled with Elliot. Nothing good would come out of it. "Zoe was such a snob!" Tammy walked over to Avery and comforted her, "Don't pay attention to what she said. She should take a good look at herself in the mirror." Avery took her purse and prepared to leave as she said, "I'm only mad at myself.""You didn't do anything wrong," Tammy said."I'm being ridiculous," Avery muttered to herself. "I keep imagining that we still have a chance together… Tammy, please give it to me if I see him in the future!" Tammy nodded, as she wanted the best for her friend. "I'll get you home!" Tammy held her up and said, "Don't worry about the rest of

Zoe did not want to hear them anymore.The sounds of Avery and Elliot in the throes of passion mocked her. They seemed to say, 'So what if you're Elliot's girlfriend? He'll always love Avery no matter what!'She sat on the sofa. She felt a part of her had died today. Her body ran cold and she turned stiff.At 2 a.m. in the morning, the door to the bedroom finally swung open. Avery dragged herself out of the room. She froze when she saw Zoe. "Miss Tate, how did my boyfriend fare?" Zoe's voice trembled as she glared at Avery. "Miss Tate, I can't believe that you were able to make your move on him in the twenty minutes that I was gone. You knew that he was drunk, and yet, you seduced him! Oh, you're cheap!"Avery tried to explain herself, but nothing made sense.She could not believe that the situation would turn out like that. It was ironic."I'm so sorry," Avery said. "What's the use of saying sorry?" Zoe felt a stream of tears run down the corner of her eyes. "At least, I only

Mike coughed and said, "There's no need to get the cops involved! Avery, where are you right now? You sound exhausted."Avery stood up with the support of the pillar next to her and lied, "I'm at home.""Oh, were you still sleeping? Get back to bed! I'm fine, I just feel wronged. Chad is being unreasonable. He blames me for everything!" Mike felt better after his rant. Avery got a cab and headed home.She popped a fever pill and fell asleep in her bed. Laura did not manage to ask what happened to her.Back at the mansion, Elliot had been in the shower for longer than an hour. Usually, he would be done in about half that time. The reason why he had not yet come out of the bathroom was because he was still thinking about last night, and he could not accept that it was Zoe he had slept with. He could deal with Zoe anytime, but how could he ever face Avery? He was more certain than before that he was still very much in love with Avery.He could no longer lie to himself. It was cle

She simply could not find a way to change her views on Elliot.…"Mr. Foster, let's go back!" the bodyguard said. "Your clothes are wet. If we don't go home and get you changed, you will catch a cold."It was early autumn, and even with the sun above their heads, the temperature had dropped significantly. "I'm not cold," Elliot said in a steady and calm voice. Seeing how stubborn he was, the bodyguard realized that Elliot was not going to change his mind and resorted to waiting alongside him. Shortly after, a red Porsche Cayenne slowly drove toward them and stopped beside Elliot. The car window rolled down, and Mike poked his head out. "Hey, why are you here?" Mike was shocked to see Elliot drenched from head to toe. "Did it rain?"The bodyguard glared at him impatiently, "It's that brat Hayden's doing!""Oh… As expected of Big H! He always has the guts to do what I wouldn't dare to!"The bodyguard could only stare daggers at him. Mike cleared his throat and got out of

"Dr. Sanford, the boss asked me to pass this to you." The bodyguard handed a check to Zoe. Zoe accepted the cheque and glanced at the number written on it, before snorting. "How generous of him! We slept together for one night and he is giving me five million." She set the cheque on the table with a bitter smile. "Apart from this cheque, did he tell you anything else?" The bodyguard shook his head. Zoe's heart ached as she thought to herself, "Who exactly does Elliot think I am?! A prostitute? He just pays me off after sleeping with me! I suppose the only difference is that I'm getting paid way more than a prostitute would!" Zoe gritted her teeth and threw a medical book on the ground. "Does he know what it means to respect someone?""Dr. Sanford, he already gives you enough respect. Otherwise, you wouldn't even get a penny out of this," the bodyguard said expressionlessly. "That's just because I am still useful to him!" she shouted, red-eyed. "If it wasn't for that, he
